Realizing that writers have more fun than editors, he began freelancing.

He is the author of Discover Vermont! The Vermont Life Guide to Exploring Our Rural Landscape and It Happened in Vermont: From the French and Indian War to the exposure of Maple Corner, thirty-two events that shaped the Green Mountain State. He has also contributed chapters to Howard Dean: A Citizen's Guide to the Man who Would Be President, and Lake Champlain: An Illustrated History.
